It wasn't a great interior, but I can't wrap my head around it being a step down from a GS-R. The Momo steering wheel was actually really good especially for its time (even though a three-spoke...

I think I was either a college freshman or sophomore when they first came out. I definitely would’ve done something stupid if I had a WRX at that age.

Sounds like a great deal to be had if you’re in the market for an AWD car that has some good performance for around $30k. But on one hand, the fact that at a time where there has been somewhat of a...

It’s crazy to think that when the 2002 WRX came out, it was something like $23k. I really wanted one when they came out, but I was a poor college freshman.

Basically yes.

I wouldn’t have minded a sixth gear in mine (just to keep rpms down, especially since the car is already loud, and if on the phone, sometimes it’s hard to be heard), but honestly...

I agree. It’s weird that they did it — I get why they’d do it on the other cars like the Crosstrek and Forester since those are going to see backroads more often, but I would assume most WRXs aren’t...

There may not be any development costs but perhaps its unit cost is keeping it from being used. It’s a lot stronger of a gearbox and probably utilizes better parts that might account for more of a...

Has the transmission had any significant number of cases of failure? I honestly don’t know.

But that aside, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the WRX has a glass transmission that can’t handle...

At that point, wouldn't that basically be an STI, just without the EJ257? The FA24F might be down around 30 hp and 30 lb-ft in comparison, but it's a way newer engine that still has around 90% of...

The DCCD was an interesting concept but seemed like more of a gimmick due to it having SIX settings, and even more so when they switched its range from 35/65-50/50 to 41/59-50/50. It seemed...

That's not a bad idea, but the market for those is shrinking while the prices go up, despite the fact that the cars are getting older and racking on more miles.

I don't think that's why it "only makes 268 horsepower" -- there has to be a gap between the WRX and the STI. Beyond that, it's going to get dangerously close to the STI. Remember the Evo and the...

Do insurance. Hitting an animal is a comprehensive claim, one that won't negatively impact your record or your rates. Hopefully your comprehensive deductible is low.
